Nazgûl
From J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings. Known as The Nine, The Black Riders, Nazgûl or Ringwraiths, these were once great kings of Middle Earth who were gifted rings of power from the Dark Lord Sauron the main antagonist of the book series. Using the One Ring which Sauron crafted for himself in secret he bent these nine men to his will giving them power and immortality in exchange for eternal servitude to him. The names of the Nazgûl are The Witch King of Agmar, The Undying, The Tainted, The Dark Marshal, The Shadow Lord, The Betrayer, The Knight of Umbar, The Dwimmerláik and Khamúl the Easterling. The chief of these dark beings is the Witch King. Although having no corporal form they are robed in black, carry swords and wear armor. Each of the Nazgûl are able to use dark magic to drain the strength and courage of their foes as well as transfix and compel them to their will. They also have the ability to unleash a piercing scream which paralyzes most people with fear. Although very powerful, the Nazgûl can be defeated with fire or water and return to Sauron when beaten in combat.
